Asking really early but need advice on buying diamond online

[adrienneg]

I am a newbie on here and I have to say I have been on here for 8 hours today! Here''s my story. With the economy down and getting laid off while I was on maternity leave, to make ends meet, I had to return my wedding set over a year ago. I was very very sad, but got over it because I kept myself busy with the baby, work, etc. We''re in the process of saving up for another set ... it''s going slowly but we will surely be there in little bit. I am obsessed with looking at princess cut stones online and have considered purchasing the stone now and purchasing the setting later... but my hubby talked me out of it. He thinks it''s a better idea to purchase them together or around the same time. I love the pictures online but very hesitant to actually purchase one because I''m not sure exactly what it is I''m supposed to be looking for. I''ve never heard of idealscope, sarin, etc until I landed on pricescope. I''ve heard only about color, clarity, cut. Can you help educate me on what I should look for when buying a princess cut stone online? I am totally in love with the square shape and my heart melts when I see a sparkly one.

My ideal stone would be .75 - 1 carat, and I don''t care about the size too much but I do want a good cut and good clarity.

Thanks to all in advance.

Easiest way to a good princess is to limit your search to those with AGS certificates with an "ideal" cut rating. Then, look with your eyes and see what you like.

Whiteflash.com and Goodoldgold.com are both places I would start looking for princesses. Luckily you have plenty of time to learn, so spend some more time here and use the search box liberally. When you are ready to buy we would be happy to help you select the right stone!

Ditto! That is exactly what I would do!
